Valairco Cares Invites Community to Nominate Favorite Nonprofits for $500 Grant

Since 2018, Valairco Heating and Cooling has supported local nonprofits through its Valairco Cares initiative, providing $500 grants to organizations dedicated to helping others. To date, the program has awarded 32 grants to deserving nonprofits, and the next recipient will be chosen by the community.

Valairco is asking residents to nominate their favorite charity, with the nonprofit receiving the most nominations winning the grant. Richard Valenti, founder of Valairco, stated: "We recognize that there are so many wonderful charities and nonprofits out there, so we need your help by letting us know what your favorite one is. We are giving away $500 in July, so please take a moment and vote now. We appreciate your opinion."

Community members are encouraged to submit a nomination and share the opportunity with friends, family, and supporters of their favorite organization. Each grant recipient is selected based on the highest number of nominations received. Organizations that have previously received a Valairco Cares grant are not eligible for future giveaways, allowing the program to continue supporting new causes throughout the community.
